/lit/ - Literature

>raw enthusiasm of /tv/

???

enthusiasm for shitposting? for posting about cunnies?

/tv/ -- both the board and the forms of media it covers -- is dead.

>The entire medium is constipated by the need for everything to conform with academic bullshit
Give examples.

o i am laffin

Literature requires concerted effort and continual interest not only to consume, but to understand. It's time-consuming, too; you can't just finish a book in minutes or hours like an album, film, or television show. There's nuance to the consumption of literature.

As such, /lit/ becomes the designated shitpost board- rife with political bait, uneducated religiousity, and gormless rhetorical questioning. It will only ever be riddled with ironic poseurs, and this is the reason /lit/ never has been, and never will be good- because the majority of its populace either has literally no working knowledge of what it's trying to discuss and has to thoughtlessly regurgitate the opinions of the minute few who do, or is compelled to introduce off-topic content for the sake of having something to hear themselves talk about.

calling you naive would be an understatement. what you're doing is akin to praising science for being the only thing able to discover the truth.

>blaming "the medium" because you're bored
fuck you op. stop trying to justify your negativity and bring others down. even if contemporary literature is all fucked (it's not) you have more classics than you'll ever have the time to read and the freedom to write anything you please with a pen and paper. take your shit threads out of here.

Takes a long time to read a book, mongo. Most people don't go through the attempt, just like you're too fucking stupid to reread the post and come to a reasonable conclusion based on understanding. The fact that you see this as mythologizing literature as a concept shows what a closeted, superstitious troglodyte you are. It doesn't take effort or anything particularly special, it takes attentiveness.

lmao. it takes 10 hours TOPS of actual reading time to get through most books. whereas just one season of a standard 24 episode 30 minute show takes 12 hours of actual watching time.

>>see the raw enthusiasm of /mu/ and /tv/
/tv/ don't give a shit about movies or tv. All the threads on there are stupid memes or people complaining about the presence of black men in movies.

>>9937029
Have you considered that easy to read, sub 1000 page, novels might not actually be /lit/?

2015 /mu/ was better, it was probably the last year when avant-teen stuff was discussed, now they just went full p4k-drone

most of the literary canon is sub 1000 dumbass

Truly the great debate of our age

>>9937053Length is easily the most arbitrary quality of any text. You can read 'The Great Gatsby' or 'To the Lighthouse' in one sitting.

don't worry bro
/lits/ bound to get the meme spotlight again.

but incase you haven't lurked /tv/ and /mu/ its pretty much all derivative schlock.
/lit/ I think has the most unique threads that don't just regurgitate the same stale old memes.

It's true. Grimes lost her virginity in a gangbang for your sins.
